Did you know that our labs deal with around 10,000 blood samples per day? 🩸 In this video, we show you the steps each person involved takes to be able to provide your test results. We couldn't handle such a huge amount of blood samples without the wonderful team of NHS staff. You can access your blood and other test results with MyChart, our secure patient portal: https://lnkd.in/gnC56dPY

🩸 National Blood shortage Amber alert 🩸 The recent London hospital cyber attack, combined with unfilled appointments at Donor Centres in town and city centres, has caused stocks of O type blood to drop to unprecedented low levels. The NHS urgently needs O type blood donors. O negative blood can be given to anyone. There are over 12,000 appointments available over the next two weeks, and we really need to get them filled. We know how amazing our donors are, and we need your help to make this possible. If you are an O type blood donor, please call 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment or go to ➡️ https://orlo.uk/X2IQv

Proud be one of five NHS Trusts that have come together to form the Circular Economy Healthcare Alliance, spearheaded by Professor Mahmood Bhutta. To find out more about CUH's response to the climate emergency: https://lnkd.in/exNbSzks
Thank you Professor Mahmood Bhutta for your passion and expertise, leading the way in sustainability and forming the Circular Economy Healthcare Alliance together with other NHS trusts. 👏♻️ The new alliance is part of a commitment to sustainability that intends to help reduce waste and carbon emissions. Along with University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the alliance demonstrates a commitment to a greener and more sustainable NHS. Mahmood said: “The NHS in England generates a staggering 440 tonnes of medical waste every day. While discarding items has become commonplace, our research and analysis reveal that this is often unnecessary and perpetuated by misconceptions about infection risk. “By forming this alliance, we advocate for a shift towards using reusable products whenever safe to do so, and will always use suppliers that value sustainability. We encourage others in the NHS to join us.” Read more on our website: ➡️bit.ly/4bThy8S

We are one of five healthcare trusts across England that have come together to form the Circular Economy Healthcare Alliance, demonstrating commitment to a greener and more sustainable NHS. There are three key areas of change that the project is focusing on: ♻️ not using items when they are not needed ♻️ using reusable items rather than single use wherever possible and safe to do so ♻️ ensuring end-of-life items are returned for remanufacture or recycling where possible.

Sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. You can burn in the UK, even when it's cloudy. Mr Animesh Patel, our plastic surgery lead for head and neck cancer reconstruction, encourages families to be vigilant in the sun, especially with children. He says: "The NHS website has excellent guidance on sun protection, and it is definitely worth spending a few minutes reading and understanding the principles of sun safety." The NHS website encourages people to spend time in the shade when the sun is strongest. In the UK, this is between 11am and 3pm from March to October. Also, make sure you: ☀️ never burn ☀️ cover up with suitable clothing and sunglasses ☀️ use at least factor 30 sunscreen Read more: https://orlo.uk/R5Fxu #Safe
